We booked a murder mystery experience for an adult birthday party, and it was a blast. Benny, our incredible host / actor, was able to coordinate the chaos of 15 energetic guests in a loud restaurant, brought all the necessary props/decor/materials, and even gave out awards at the end! (a big hit). Sarah from the CC also helped us coordinate some customized details so that we could have a crafted storyline. People are still talking about how much fun they had. Highly recommend—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Benny and Sarah!

Emily came out on June 7th for a corporate team building event, running a murder mystery for the team. We had a great time and they were very understanding on our event timeline/space constraints. This was not a super high pressure mystery solving environment; it was easy going and let the team to have some fun, talk in a way they normally wouldn't. It met its purpose perfectly for us.

I booked the Clue Collective for a 1920's themed 25th birthday and it was absolutely amazing!! They were able to match all the other offers I had negotiated with other companies and were good at keeping up the communication. They offer a variety of options at different price points. On the day of the party, John and Kristine arrived an hour before the event and I got to meet them before the party started. They were very accommodating with guests not being able to make it last minute, and minor changes to the schedule. Kristine was absolutely hilarious when it came to playing her part. She was able to get the crowd going and into the whole act, as well as inspire our suspects to really put their best acting foot forward. John was great in his role as the detective too with his dry humor. All my friends were raving about the murder mystery for hours and even weeks after the party. It was many of our first times participating in such an event and it was such a good time! I can't thank the Clue Collective enough for the wonderful job!

I used the Clue Collective for my birthday party a week ago and my friends are still talking about how much fun we all had. Some of us opted to play suspect characters, while others were more comfortable being themselves, and everyone got to participate as we worked out the cleverly constructed murder mystery. The solution wasn't obvious but also ultimately felt grounded in the clues we uncovered. The show was well paced and everyone was really engaged the entire time. I was also really excited to see how effective the murder mystery was at getting groups of people who didn't previously know each other to interact. Mylissa was the main person from the Clue Collective that I worked with to throw this show/party. She was extremely easy to communicate with, and patiently answered any questions I had. She effortlessly adapted the experience to accommodate the space, party size, dinner break, and personalities of the guests. I can't recommend the Clue Collective enough, and I'd guess that my friends and I will someday figure out an opportunity to experience more of their murder mysteries.

OMG I was so close to figuring out the villain!!! I attended one of the Clue Collective's first shows a few months back. Its a murder mystery that you take part in - if you desire. Naturally, I desired. You get a player background that is suitably vague but also suitably fleshed out, and work with your table to start interviewing and interacting with other character-guests. Love the detective / 20s theme. The CC put a lot of effort into getting with the times, including a handy cheat sheet of common sayings from the era. "Now you're on the trolley!" The game progresses over several phases. At the end of each something dramatic happens and a little more is revealed. Well-structured - its not obvious who dunnit and several people are continuously suspect. Highly recommend. Two thumbs up.
